This is the eight-year-old bumbling ballerina who has stolen the hearts of the nation in the latest moving John Lewis advert.
Unsteadily pirouetting her way around a house, schoolgirl Bunny May is the star of the high street retailer's home insurance ad which has touched the hearts of millions worldwide.
The 90-second feature, which was directed by the same man behind last year's successful Monty the Penguin advert, shows the young girl twirling around her home to the sound of Elton John's 1970s hit Tiny Dancer.
Ms Burke also praised director Mr Wilson, who was also behind the brand's Monty the Penguin 2014 Christmas campaign.
She added: 'I've never met a director who has more attention to detail than Dougal. For us, it's a perfect combination. He's the perfect director for this.'
Bunny, a child model from west London, who was chosen as the star of the heartwarming advert after dozens of recalls, was given lessons by Royal Ballet choreographer Kristen McNally while filming the clip.
She was taught the ballet moves but was allowed to keep the flair and 'wobble' which landed her the part in the first place.
Speaking after the launch of the advert, she said she found the ballet-type spins 'quite easy' and added that in the future she would like to go on to become a professional dancer, or an astronaut.
Sian Coole, who is part of the creative team at London agency Adam and Eve DBB, said the youngster stood out from dozens of others who auditioned for the part.
She said: 'Bunny is focused and she loves to do it but she would naturally wobble and that's what we wanted.'

Personally, I don’t believe in bros before hoes, or hoes before bros. There needs to be a balance. A homie-hoe-stasis, if you will.
